East Meets West ¦ Reiki in Norwich
Reiki is a gentle spiritual healing practice, developed by Mikao Usui in the early 1920s after a period of meditation on Mount Kurama.
I first came to reiki through my own interest in meditation. I practised it for a few years before receiving formal training. Once I’d felt the difference it made for me and my family, it felt like it was time to take it to the next level. I set out to find a teacher and trained with Giulietta Spudich, an ex-colleague I liked. Since training, I have personally benefited a lot from reiki, and my family have too, which is why I’m glad to offer it to others as Reiki in Norwich, alongside my conventional therapy work.
What to Expect From a Reiki Session in Norwich
During a reiki session you will stay fully clothed and rest comfortably on a treatment couch (or seated if preferred). I will generally hover my hands above the body to perform the healing practice. Occiaisionally I may use a light touch, and I will ask you if this is ok first. It is an opportunity for you to relax, and people are often surprised how the practice can often enable busy minds to settle.
Sessions last 50mins and take place close to Norwich (near the hsopital). Most people describe feeling calm, warm or deeply rested afterwards, though everyone’s experience is different. Before we start, we’ll have a short chat about how you’re feeling and anything you’d like to know.
How Reiki Can Support Relaxation and Wellbeing
Reiki gives you an hour to pause, breathe and let your body rest. Research shows that Reiki can help promote deep relaxation, reduce stress and ease mild pain and anxiety.
Many people come to reiki healing in Norwich because they want a calmer, quieter space alongside the rest of their life. It suits anyone curious about a gentle, spiritual approach to wellbeing.
Reiki is a complementary practice.
About Laura: Reiki in Norwich
I never expected that I would ever be someone offering reiki. For years this was totally unscientific garbage to me.
But I am grateful that life unfolds in unexpected ways. Since learning meditation, I found a lot of odd synchronicities happening in my life. And then at some point it reached a critical threshold I couldn’t ignore. And that’s how I came to train in reiki!
In a session feel free to arrive how you are. You can simply lay down and relax. There is the option for background music. In general I discourage talking during the session so I can keep my mind and intention more clearly focused on the healing for you.

Your Reiki Session in Norwich: Arrive, Rest, Return
Arrive
Come as you are. There's nothing to prepare and nothing you need to believe. Wear something comfortable, and we'll take a few moments to settle in and talk about how you're feeling. If there's anything you'd prefer, such as no touch at all, just tell me.
Rest
You'll lie or sit comfortably, fully clothed, and close your eyes. I hold my hands just above the body, with an occasional light touch if it feels right, and I stay quiet so I can give the session my full attention. There's nothing to do but rest and let whatever arises, arise. Sessions last 50 mins with a minimum of 30 mins healing.
Return
When we finish, you're given time to come back gently to the room, with a glass of water and a few quiet moments. Everyone's experience is different. Some people feel deeply calm or lighter, and some feel tired for the first day or so, which is completely normal. It helps to leave some space afterwards and be kind to yourself.
